Pulling WSM .243 & 300 bullets
I have tried my Kinetic bullet puller for these cases they don't hold and slide and jamb in the puller.
Does anyone make a Kinetic puller that works for the .243 & 300 WSM

I am trying work up a load for a Winchester Coyote lite in 300 WSM with no luck and I want to pull them apart to change the powder charge.
My Remington 300 Mag will shoot a 5/8" or less 3 shot group at 100 yards if I do my part.
So far the best I can get out of the Coyote lite is 2" at 100 yards for a 3 shot group.
I have been using a Hornady & Nosler manual with the most accurate charge listed for 150gr bulets the primer is flowing back into the firing pin hole but no more than a factory load.

Since bullets are hard to find shooting them out is not a option.

I used a kintic puller for years. Best I had was the dillion. However when my last one split in half I went to a collet puller and will never go back.


As usual just my $.02

Collet puller for me, unless I've got just a couple to pull.

I put a shellholder on the rim, put it in the kinetic puller and give it the "whack", never fails to dispense powder and bullet.

Seat the bullets slightly deeper to break them loose and then pull them using a shell holder on top of your kinetic puller.

If the bullets were cheap quality I would use pliers & side cutters.

But I will be pulling Accubonds & SST's

I have tried using a Shell holder but it won't stay in place without tightening it every whack but it does get the job done.

I am looking for a kinetic puller made for WSSM & WSM shells.

Thanks for your suggestion

What Snellstrom said. I found a holder for the WSM's & ordered it from Midway. Got screwed on the shipping. Then some "wag" on the board here suggested the shell holder trick. It works fine.
Wish I had known about it beforehand.

Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

I never thought that I'd live to see a President worse than Jimmy Carter. Well, I have.

Gun control means using two hands.

That is a "wag"?
